Düsseldorf, een stad die bruist

Düsseldorf in Duitsland is een geslaagde combinatie van traditie en trends. Een stad die bruist, dat merk je overal. Vooral in de Altstadt, de oude binnenstad, die legendarische vierkante kilometer aan de Rijn met zijn 260 cafés, kroegen, rustieke brouwerijen en lunchrooms, die hem de naam "langste bar van de wereld" hebben bezorgd.

Parels aan het Bodenmeer, op stap in Konstanz en Mainau

Konstanz is een stad in het zuiden van Duitsland. De stad ligt aan de grens met Zwitserland en aan de oevers van het Bodenmeer, ook wel het Meer van Konstanz genoemd. Wellicht is deze stad minder bekend bij het grote publiek, maar daarom zeker niet minder aangenaam.
